Radio talk show host Scooter McGee has a three hour show between 9pm and Midnight mountain time, Monday-Friday, on the mostly conservative KFKA 1310 AM Greeley, Colorado. Considering the show is bracketed between Michael Savage and Neil Boortz, it is refreshingly progressive, with an open mic format and an emphasis on conspiracy, collusion and non-transparency of government. Scooter has a tongue-in-cheek, sardonic sense of humor and a pleasant demeanor with guests.

Accountability for Colorado, Bob Boswell, and Scooter McGee ? ? ?

What has the political arena become?

Political candidates used to debate issues, take a stand, and let the voter decide. Now we live in a 24 hour news/media barrage, where if it doesn't bleed it doesn't lead. With electronic mass mailers, texts, and tweets; it's almost as if we want to be told what to do and how to vote, and who for, etc...

I remember when as a broadcaster oh, those many years ago, when you were NOT allowed to tell people what your political persuasion was! Then we had the 80's and deregulation. Ahhh, the bliss to the humble broadcaster who could speak his mind, and allow his listeners to speak their minds as well! Then came the 90's with talk of "conspiracy", fictional bogeymen dressed in black, equipped by a "secret-group" hell bent on some crazy mission of dubious substance.

When the millennium came and went without the world collapsing into darkness, we looked toward the future and we all had hope for a change!

Now, in my humble opinion it seems that to be a successful broadcaster you must align yourself with a political party. Well I am not successful by definition NOR am I politically aligned!

So desperate the powers that be are since I won't speak and I allow others to speak, this is the solution? Killing 2 birds with one stone? Attempting to politicize The Scooter McGee Show to a political candidate?

Congratulations!You have awoken a sleeping giant!I would wish you luck, but you wouldn't know what to do with it if you got it!

P.S.---Did ya get permission to use my likeness or use my show name in the mailer?My lawyer says no calls or contracts came through his office, but I am sure you can forge up something before Friday, October 28Th, 2010 at 12 Noon Mountain Daylight Time.

About Me

The show is a mix of comedy, paranormal, conspiracy and political topics.
McGee notes that "we talk about topics other shows in the [progressive talk] format won't even touch, and ask the questions listeners would if they were sitting in my chair". Much of the show takes the form of balanced interviews, open phone lines for callers to participate with guests, and honest, candid commentary by McGee.
The show takes several calls from listeners each hour at the phone number 1-877-353-1310. McGee says that "this is a radio version of a town-hall meeting and all points of view are respected, tolerated and given equal consideration".
Callers converse with both Scooter and any guest he has on equally. The only request that McGee makes is that, even if opposed to the particular topic, callers remain civil and engage in legitimate discourse with him or his guests.
Much of the apparent [instant] popularity for the show is actually due to more than 4 years of hard work by McGee developing a huge Podcast and Internet radio audience before being offered his own show on broadcast radio in late April, 2007.
